The Ruling on the Zakah of Household Utensils

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Yes, may Allah bless you. He says: I own many household utensils, some of which are for daily use and others for guests and so on. They are numerous in my home and also in some of my shops. Is there zaka (the obligatory alms) on them?

Answer:
No. There is no zakah on what is for use or for personal possession. Zakah is only due on what is prepared for sale, namely trade goods that are held for sale. As for personal possessions and items in use, there is no zakah on them. Yes.
